Blackburn boss Hughes looking for Roberts impact

Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes is confident Jason Roberts can shake-off his injury problems.

The striker has been limited to just 10 top-flight starts in 18 months due to groin, metatarsal and thigh injuries.

But Roberts, 29, is training again and could make a rare start when Blackburn travel to Fulham on November 25.

Rovers boss Hughes said: "He joined in training on Saturday.

"Hopefully by the end of the international break, he'll be an option again. He's got a chance for Fulham if everything goes OK."
